Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab researcher Anmol Madan has created a PDA application that uses a microphone to measure compatibility between singles.
The mobile matchmaker earned the nickname Jerk-O-Meter because the application not only identifies a person’s disinterest but also responds by flashing “Stop being a jerk!” on the speaker’s screen.
It will be interesting to see how valid this sort of system really is in the real world. It was reported recently that in a study of speed-daters, the hook-up helper predicted with 95% accuracy whether a couple would exchange numbers.
